    Zach and I fished the Hootch today looking for the big silvers.  Alas, we got stockers.  It was a beautiful day and the trout were hammering the wooly bugger.  However, the real fun was watching Zach whip the spey rod around!  It’s a work of art to watch.  

    All photos were taken with the iPhone and processed with LR3.

    You all have any issues with runoff from the Thursdays storms?

    The water was 7 FNU and actually very lively.

    Zach,
    Curious what rod and line you are throwing?

    I’m using a Scott T2h 13’6″ 7 weight and an SA Skagit Extreme integrated head with sink tip in those photos above.

    By my count, you’ve got the Snap T and the Double Spey (those two set up on opposite sides of the body), then the Snake Roll and the Single Spey/Switch cast.

    Something I have come to realize is that the line really dictates what style of cast is going to work better…at least in my limited experience thus far.
    The Skagit line really works well with the sustained anchor cast like the Double Spey, C Spey, Perry Poke, and Snap T.
